like 99% of clicker games it just becomes a grindy void of nothing for hundreds of hours with no payoff

art style is gorgeous
compelling characters and good story
really fun side content, tons to do
very cute ost
great game :)

incredibly unique gameplay mechanic
stunning storytelling, incredibly beautiful

i liked this one more than 2 itself lol

really only worth playing with a big group of friends
but a great party game especially during the craze

this game is absolutely stunning and incredibly relaxing to play
flying around the enviroments is incredibly satisfying and i love it
it's pretty short and simple but still a great experience

def a "i am a child and can only play the free games on steam" type beat

game starts so ungodly slow i was convinced it was a worse game than hey pikmin
but it really comes into its own once you get past the first area
ice pikmin are broken but not as fun as purples in 2
glow pikmin are very cool
oatchi really fundamentally changes a lot of aspects of combat and multitasking and its really hit or miss for me most of the time
rushing into 90% of enemies with oatchi then having them frozen by your ice pikmin just completely permastunning them even harder than purples in 2 is just not very interesting
and having to collect material to craft a bunch of mechanics which were either base kit in previous games or unlocked through defeating a boss/something way more interesting i think is lazy
BUT
really good enemy variety, caves are for the most part all interesting, side missions are fun, and a great final boss

movement is so crisp and characters are rad
sylvanos and kragg goated
allowing people to make their own characters through the workshop is also such a dope idea, it's like MUGEN but with melee movement
